Bluetooth DAC

[Mikael Abdellah]

USB connected DACs has been available for some time now and most of them are pretty straight forward to connect. Lately a cpuple of bluetooth connected hifi-speakers has seen the light of day which leads me to believe there is seomthing similar to the usb dac but for bluetooth instead. Does aonyone know if there are any easy-to-use bluetooth dacs out there?

Bluetooth does not enough bandwidth to support full resolution audio. The spec was not designed to support streaming of high bandwith information.

I thought so too, but this made me curious. The speakers looks pretty good and the price tells me the same.

Wireless USB2.0 is available on eBay for cheep.

Edit: Can't find it due to all the 802.11 units.

The speakers probably utilize something refered to as A2DP. I have managed to find quite alot of info about it all over the internet, but still no sight of DAC chips.

Chord have a dac with bluetooth. Read the review in a magazine this week.

As other post I would have expected there to be not enough bandwidth for 'hi-fi audio' but not looked at the bluetooth specs.
